This is a beta preview release featuring the calamares graphical installer (the  "Install Parabola" desktop shortcut). As such, it may look and behave somewhat crudly; but most normal functionaly is expected to work properly. Please do report any bugs you may find to the "Installation Media" bug tracker (the "Report a Bug" desktop shortcut). If you have any other questions or comments and are connected to the internet, feel free to join the Parabola support chat (the "Parabola IRC Channel" desktop shortcut).

This LiveCD is running the LXDE desktop environment; but note that the installer included with this edition will install the Mate desktop environment instead, which will look and behave somewhat differently. The installed system will have mostly all of the same programs installed though.

Installation requires 2GB RAM (or swap space) and 9GB of disk space. Installation from the 'netinstall' ISOs require an active connection to the internet; whereas the 'complete' ISOs contain everything necessary to install Parabola offline. The title of this window indicates the distinction.

Known Issues

    During installation, there will be some long periods when progress-bar will not move. This is not a bug; just a missing feature. The 'pkexec' terminal that launches beneath the graphical installer currently shows the low-level activity.

    The locale selected in the installer only applies to the installer. The installed system will start in English/UTF8.
